    Abstract A hypergraph as a generalization of graphs records higher-order interactions among nodes, yields a more flexible network model, and allows non-linear features for a group of nodes. In this article, we propose a hypergraph echo state network (HypergraphESN) as a generalization of graph echo state network (GraphESN) designed for efficient processing of hypergraph-structured data, derive convergence conditions for the algorithm, and discuss its versatility in comparison to GraphESN. The numerical experiments on the binary classification tasks demonstrate that HypergraphESN exhibits comparable or superior accuracy performance to GraphESN for hypergraph-structured data, and accuracy increases if more higher-order interactions in a network are identified.

    Abstract The hydroxyl radical concentration-dependent yield of single-strand breaks (SSBs), obtained through correction of scavenging and hindrance effects caused by gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), for fluorophore- and quencher-labeled DNA on AuNPs was 10 times that of free DNA based on fluorescence measurements of X-ray-irradiated DNA on AuNPs. By comparing the fluorescence data that revealed the number of SSBs with the results of mass spectrometry measurements that detected the total damage to DNA, we found that SSBs dominated DNA damage for DNA on AuNPs whereas non-SSB damage dominated for free DNA. The yield of RNA SSBs under X-ray irradiation was similar to that of DNA in the presence of AuNPs, whereas free RNA was more resistive to radiation than DNA. These results indicated the enhanced SSBs were likely catalyzed through the conversion from nucleobase damage to SSBs by AuNPs. The outcome of this work impacts materials and environmental science, sensing, nanotechnology, biology, and medicine.

    Abstract The interaction between transport and chemistry is pivotal for local ozone (O₃) concentration, especially for a coastal region where the upstream sources might change diurnally. In the current emission control policy, most pollutants, such as particulate matter, SO₂, NOx, and CO, decrease while the annual O₃ trend might increase due to the complex feedbacks of precursors. In this study, we investigate the influence of transport upon the wintertime O₃ diurnal trend over ZuoYing Kaohsiung, an urban coastal site in southern Taiwan, by constructing a two-dimensional numerical model coupling both physical mechanisms and core chemical processes and provide a feasible emission control strategy. The transport process (i.e., import vs. export) for the daytime is determined using the Leighton Ratio (Φ), the ratio of O₃-production over O₃-loss rate, under the pseudo-steady-state condition. Φ shows a deviation of -9 to +13% from the photo-stationary state, and experiences a transition from import effect before 10:15 to weakening import or net export effect afterward associated with a net O₃ production as sea breeze starts developing. The significantly higher Φ derived from observation than from simulation by a factor of 1.35 might be resulted from the over-reported NO₂ due to NOy contribution on the NO₂ measurement, and the influence of aerosol and cloud possibly reducing ∼30% on applied NO₂ photolysis rate constant, associated with aerosol optical depth of 0.75 ± 0.15 and single scattering albedo of 0.85 ± 0.15. In this studied NOx-saturated regime, the addition of sea breeze convergence over the land enhances the maximal O₃ by ∼10%, mainly due to the O₃ accumulation (∼88%). Furthermore, the ozone isopleth analysis as a function of non-methane hydrocarbons and NOx emissions provides an achievable strategy to decrease both maximum daily ozone and the increment of ozone from morning to maximum by reducing hydrocarbons and NOx emissions, which can also eliminate the additional nitrate contribution on the aerosols.

    Abstract Objective: To examine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on maternal substance abuse and neonatal outcomes.
    Study design: Cross-sectional observational study of neonates admitted to the NICU and born to mothers with evidence of substance abuse pre-pandemic compared to during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Result: We noted a significant increase in fentanyl (12% vs. 0.6%, p < 0.001) and tobacco use (64% vs. 33%, p < 0.001) during the pandemic compared to pre-pandemic, including an increase in fentanyl use among mothers enrolled in opioid maintenance therapy (OMT) during the pandemic (32.3% vs. 1.5%, p < 0.001). There was a significant increase in preterm births (58% vs. 48%, p = 0.022) and lower birth weight (2315 ± 815 vs. 2455 ± 861 g, p = 0.049) during pandemic.
    Conclusion: There was a significant increase in maternal fentanyl use during the pandemic, even with OMT enrollment, with an increase in preterm births and lower birth weights among infants born to mothers with substance use.

    Abstract Viral infections are some of the most common sources of respiratory illness in pediatric and adult populations worldwide. Influenza and coronaviruses are viral pathogens that could lead to severe respiratory illness and death. More recently, respiratory illness from coronaviruses, accounts for more than 1 million deaths in the United States alone. This article will explore the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus-2, and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome.

    Abstract This paper describes a data preprocessing algorithm that can be used to mitigate the effects of interfering spectral components when the goal is to detect the spectrum of unknown components in a mixture of known components or to verify the presence of suspected components in the spectrum of a mixture of known components. The algorithm is both relatively simple and applicable to a wide range of problems in spectroscopy. The range of applicability can be increased by combining the method with other data preprocessing methods, for example derivative spectra, and can also accommodate variability in the spectra of one or more of the known components. Examples of the application of the algorithm to real problems are given for near-infrared analysis of antibiotic drug formulations inside gelatin capsules and mid-infrared analysis of atmospheric pollutants.

    Abstract Objective: We report here on the management and outcomes of neonates born to mothers with active perinatal SARS-CoV-2 infection.
    Study design: In this prospective study, eligible neonates were enrolled in a database to track in-hospital outcomes and followed up outpatient periodically till 2 months of age to assess for late onset symptoms of infection.
    Results: From April 2020 to February 2021, 67 mothers with perinatal SARS-CoV-2 infection and 70 at-risk neonates were included. Two neonates (3%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 within 48 h of life but remained asymptomatic during hospitalization and at all follow-up periods. Three infants were reported to have a febrile illness in 2 months follow up period, none of which was attributable to SARS-CoV-2.
    Conclusion: Our data supports the emerging evidence which describes a probable low risk of vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2. We also demonstrate a low risk of post-natal transmission or late-onset symptomatic infection with SARS-CoV-2.
